@Newbie0818 fingers crossed I get a miracle, but not many of them happening at the moment!

@Hopeful110 ohh okay then, il try not to stress too much today 🙈 I'm 6dpo today if my ovulation date was correct but could be 7dpo as I forgot to take my temp the day before xx

@lucyrp just quickly wanted to say that it could just be a secondary oestrogen surge which can happen between like 5-8dpo I think. Fingers crossed your temp bounces back up tomorrow and it was just that.

@Newbie0818 yeah I'm sad she seems to have left MN completely after her bfp!

@Skip86 that sucks donkey balls but we're here for you if you want to rejoin the bus!

Morning all. Just popping to say AF has arrived for me so I’m on to the next month. 14dpo which is 2 days later than last month AND my temps rose on 12 and 13 and looked a bit triphasic so I was feeling very hopeful. Feeling far more upset than I would have been without that stupid false alarm I think.

Still nauseous so if that continues when we’re back I guess I’ll go to the doctor about it. More fun.

Van trip is going excellently though. Picked our puppy up yesterday and he’s the sweetest calmest thing ever. He’s been tested to have the perfect temperament for a therapy dog. My adult dog is sulking, hard. She’s not impressed that she’s not the cutest anymore.

@Mrsbear1122 so happy someone’s got a BFP this month though! How are the lines today?

@Minster2012 a spa break sounds perfect! Glad you’re enjoying it 🤗

@Gem176 hi hi! Are you on the bus for this month? Where are you in your cycle? And yes, I remember the pregnancy scares I had in my student days 19/20, looking back now and knowing more there was no way I could have been pregnant for any of them 🤣 I miss that blissful ignorance of how complicated it actually is!

@Skip86 oh no, sorry to hear things haven’t gone well. Are you back on the bus with us or taking a bit more time? What’s up with these pigeons and why are you fighting them? X

@Gem176 welcome to the crazy bus! If things are confusing we're here for all the stupid questions :). Whereabouts in your cycle are you now?

@Skip86 hey! What happened? Come back to us, we have gotten a bit crazier
@Newbie0818 depending where you are can be quite hard to get regardless, unless you go private but that’s ££££, even so i don’t think I would, in my circumstances
@lucyrp oh dear, would it be a bleep?
I am ok, starting to get sore boobs but still 8 days till af, so who knows... back to chilling, ladies

@NestinginNL So sorry to hear that AF has arrived. It really sounded like it was going to be your month. I thought this was going to be my month, but this morning I'm spotting and terrified AT is going to land for me too.

@NestinginNL oh no! Sorry AF has come for you, glad you've got the puppy to cheer you up! Can we have any photos? I need puppy photos to get me through this Tuesday! 😂

Welcome @Gem176 👋
@Skip86!!! How spooky, telepathic messages across the world 😂 how are you? Sorry to hear your update. Are you ttc again?there's always a seat for you here! Still battling pigeons?!?! New house?
@lucyrp i don't know charts so can't help buthope its nothing to worry about. Isn't there something called an implantation dip?
@NestinginNL aw pet that's such a bitch. The opk mixup was just cruel 😭 hugs

@Katao thanks! This is our final test before we make a decision to do IVF or not. All tests so far have come back completely fine (or better than normal SA results!) but it’s been 14 months and I’ve never even had a hint of a line on a pregnancy test. (Sorry if that’s insensitive for those who have had chemicals and miscarriages, I don’t mean it to sound that way) I just worry we’ll be in the unexplained infertility bracket, so do you keep trying naturally or go IVF

@Skip86 sounds like you’ve really been through it. But glad that you’re doing well now and fingers crossed for a very lovely news soon!

@Gem176 I’m lolling at the scared of becoming pregnant comment!! The times I spent stressing I was pregnant when I was younger and I didn’t even have proper sex! Just the tip 😂 If only it was as easy as it’s made out in school to be

@Clapham4 glad to see you again! What's the latest!

@NestinginNL I'm sorry AF showed :( onwards and upwards though hey?

@clapham4 yeah I had a hycosy it doesn't hurt that bad but everyone is different it's cool you get to see your eggs and your womb and the ink going through. They say you have a higher chance of getting pregnant after so fingers crossed that rings true for you as it didn't for me lol. I know what you mean we are basically in the unexplained bracket and it's like 😑 I at least woukd like a reason so we can fix it? Lol anyway doctor says you aren't infertile until you've been trying for 2 years and no luck so I've got another 9 months to get pregnant before being officially infertile lol

@Skip86 so sorry to hear that 🙁 glad you're feeling like you can take on the world again and we are here for it!!

@Juno231 I hope so 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Franklydear im hoping it's just that but only time will tell 😬

@Katao there is indeed would be amazing if that was it but not so sure 😂 hope it rises again by tomorrow

@NestinginNL 😭😢nooooo, thought it was your time how unfair the witch. Good thing you have Morse to keep you busy.

And what @Skip86 also noooooooooooo the pigeons beat you back here????? No way. That's cruel, very cruel. How many more houses do you have now then?

@Skip86 heyyyy! Not going to say sorry as I know that's not what you want, so I'm happy to hear you're feeling a lot better and we're here with open arms if you want to join back, sending you hugs❤️

@NestinginNL ahhhh so sorry af showed up!! That bitch!!

@lucyrp I can't help with charts but don't get too disheartened it could be implantation?? How many dpo are you??

So me and OH found the most gorgeous barn conversion a while ago and we've been looking for the last 6 weeks at it, this morning we finally decided to ring up and book a viewing, "sorry this house is under offer at the minute" fuck off😩 hoping it doesn't go through but knowing it probs will, it just obviously weren't meant to be!

6dpo today for me, creamy cm and that's about it! Hope everyone else is doing okay!x

Hope you’re all feeling ok despite us not having a lot of good news around here lately! I’ve decided to park the OPKs this month and just aim to DTD every other day again. Last month they only confused me as I had 3 days in a row of full peak and it meant we kept having to DTD every single day so it was getting too much 😅 don’t trust them now

@Minster2012 I’m glad you got to have a well deserved spa break and wine. I had my first ever spa day back in March just before covid really hit and I was thinking I’d make it a more regular thing... unlikely now! I don’t think they’re open here up north

@vil10 you held off for 6 weeks and are surprised it went on offer?? That sucks but def get on it faster next time! Didn't realise you were looking to move as well - I'd love a barn conversion one day :)

@Vil10 it could be, I'm around 7/6dpo if it was ov when I think 🙈 so around the same as you at the moment ! That barn conversion sounds amazing!

@Juno231 hahaha you're right, it got listed it August so I'm actually surprised it's lasted this long! We definitely should've been quicker! We're not properly actively looking, well we weren't until we saw this one! A barn conversion or big cottage is literally our dream so I hope we get one soon!!

@lucyrp ahhhh yess I cant believe we're back to being in sync again!! Like at the start!

@Vil10 hopefully for me anyway! Not counting my chickens yet 😂 I too am rather creamy tho

@vil10 ah gotcha - fingers crossed another one crops up then! I'm still staying at BILs and am soooo ready to move into our own home. Problem is we still haven't ordered a bed or a sofa - so it looks like we'll be very much floor bound until things get delivered lol!

Aw @Vil10 @lucyrp hope you bring each other luck! Will there be a few testing at the weekend so? Seems to be a lot of you about halfway through the tww

@Katao I probably won't be testing at the weekend, I haven't got any tests in and haven't for months lol so I'm probably going to wait until I'm what I think am 14dpo and then maybe order some but we'll see. Not getting ahead of myself 😂

@lucyrp I need to start thinking like that! Sick of wasting money on tests. Have a couple in the cuppard still tjough plus cheapies so my reserve will weaken again this cycle I'm sure 😂 really hope you get a bfp ahead of your appointment 😉

@lucyrp I'm keeping positive for you!!

@Juno231 how long will you be there for?? Hopefully not too long? Isn't it exciting house furniture shopping!!

@Katao ahhh I hope so too!! Well I'm not sure how long my cycle will be this time! It was dead on 30 days then after the northisterone it went to 35 but I've ovulated 2 days earlier this cycle than I did on the 35 day cycle so maybe I'm due next Tuesday?? I don't think I'll test this time though, just wait and see if af shows up, hopefully won't though!!

@Missgoldilocks my Dh's is 5 million! 😭 we're so screwed!! I don't think he quite understands how bad it is as the first dr was like, oh you can still conceive just keep trying, fuck off mate, I'm not going at it for years on end when we can get medical intervention! ESP with turning 35 in March, don't exactly have all the time in world now do I lol! Anyway, poor Dh is doing all he can to improve it so I'm very intrigued to see what the second SA brings. Mad that your mum was so right about your BIL, spooky indeed!
@Minster2012 gorge outfit that red dress! Glad you had a good time at the spa, sounds lush!
@Skip86 lovely to hear from you, I also missed you and @SmileyT! I know you don't want sorry's but I really am, that must've been hard, but good to hear you're bk on track now!
